And Europe cries when people from Africa come to their countries

European colonialism in Africa...

I live in Belgium, and we were never taught anything about this on school. I mostly found out about Leopold 2 on the internet. This probably has to do with the fact that his descendants are still ruling the country, and this isn't exactly a good subject for the public image of the royal family. Imagine if Hitlers descendants were still ruling over Germany. that's basically what's going on in Belgium.

Just a sample of what happened in Americas, Australia, and New Zealand

My comments got deleted for calling this an act of terrorism... salute free speech

And these Europeans talk and teach all others of human rights now .

Great short documentary. Belgium should pay indemnities.

We missed this story. Thanks for this. How painful reality is this.

This is the TRT. Voice of truth and oppressed nations. Carry on!

Im from Ireland 🇮🇪 this is all true but we were colonized by Britain and the North of my country still is 🥺😥

One day Africa will be united as one people, one army and one force. Justice will be served to all those who hurt us and our forefathers.

Belgium: Let's bring civilization to Africa Also Belgium: Yoink *Steals rubber* The US: Let's bring democarcy to the Middle East Also the US: Yoink *Steals oil*

TRT this guy is brave 👏 for the people who don't know the reason why we Black live matter, let it sind please..

I love TRT for bringing these truth while ksa is engaging in things against turkey lol

As a south african my heart is with the people of the Congo they are still suffering of other problems to this day💜

Thats why hell was created by God,,,

Thank you for bringing these topics up! Very informative and I am a fan! Please continue to open our eyes!

I like TRT's unearthing of their dark side.

Development of Europe is Over the Blood of Millions Non-European People

this is why i consider ottoman empire as protector of asia and africa, they hold these evil leader of civilization from europe to not come over the asia and africa for long time. This is what happened if europe have access to africa and asia.

This vid need to save,, before youtube delete it..!!

Nice KZfaq delete my comments about TRUTH of Imperialists

Colonial history needs to be rewritten.

That is really freedom of speech.

The "civilization" they export worldwide

Thank you for the sharing, it is important to note also the implication of the bergique, in particular on the massacre of the black African cults it made assassinate all the cults which existed in the congo by imposing Christianity.

This video should be viral and shared all over the world, especially in Europe and Africa.

4:37 it hurts me so much that i cannot finish this whole video

Wow. Thank you TRT for bringing this up 😳

Thank you for best history lesson I have ever had. I love pace and detail pointed out.

As and African man, I will only say Rest in peace Africa

History will repeat from the other way around, African n asian will colonies europe

Ottoman glorious rule was peaceful and prosperous. The rise of western evil and demonic power did so much harm to the developing world that its still struggling to recover from..... Yet the west shamelessly try to misquote and misrepresent history.

And thesame people's want to talk to us about human rights what rubbish

Thanks for telling me the painful truth about my African brothers and Sisters, you know all we learn in S.A. is that the West are a advanced civilisation and did it's best to help Africans, please keep the truth coming...

Love your content.. Please do more documentary videos like this..

Nicely described... Keep up the good work

Is king leopold a muslim? Surely a christian king doesn't kill?

If you want to know how America, South America and Europe got rich.....

Congo is in terrible shape today while Belgium build up itself using the resources of the colonized Congo.

Epic report and educational. Thank you

how bout this too! Add this sir! America (North and South) North America: 1. Canada - Britain, France - mid 16th century to Confederation (1867) or the Canada Act (1982). After the Canada Act, all the constitutional control was turned over to Canada by the UK. 2. USA - Britain, France, Spain, Dutch, Germany - mid 16th century to American Independence (1776). Russians had colonized the Alaska region until the US purchased it. South America: 1. Brazil - Portuguese - roughly 300 years from 1500 to 1815. The Dutch and French also asserted their rule in Brazil for short periods. 2. Argentina - Spain - 16th century to Argentine Independence (1816). All the countries were colonized at some point in time by most of the European countries (UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, …) American continent ( north) was colonized by all- USA was colonized by Italy/ German/ French/ English. Mexico, entire central America, entire South America [ except Brazil , Guyana] were colonized by Spain. Brazil was Portuguese colony, Guyana was colonized by England, France and Dutch! The Caribbean islands were colonized by England/ Spain/ Dutch. Africa All the countries were colonized at some point in time by most of the European countries (UK, France, Belgium, Germany, …) Ethiopia was technically an Italian colony between 1936 and 1941, when they were delivered by the British and recovered their monarchy. So, they are in the colony list, even if it was only 5 years. All of Africa except Ethiopia and Liberia was colonized by every European colonial power possible. 50 + nations in Africa- colonized by Portuguese/ Germany/ France/ England/ Holland/ Spain/ even by Italy for short time. ( South Africa was initially a Dutch colony). Oceania All the countries were colonized at some point in time by most of the European countries (do you start to see a pattern? J ) except one: Tonga Tonga was the only Pacific nation to retain its monarchical government (still in place). They became a British protectorate in 1900 but remained sovereign. Asia Almost all the countries were colonized by European, countries or japan or China, except 5 countries: China, only partially occupied by Japan during WWII and forced to sign “unequal treaty” in favor of the European during the Qing dynasty Japan, only briefly occupied by the USA after WWII Bhutan, they lost two war against Britain and had to give some territories but remained independent Nepal, they also lost a war against Britain but became after a strong ally of Britain and remained independent Thailand, the only south-Asian country to remain independent thanks to good leaders that used the rivalry between French and British to be accepted as a buffer state between both colonial power (in the process, they also lost lot of territories) 1. India - Britain, Portuguese, Dutch, French - 17th century to Indian Independence (1947). The French, the Portuguese and the Dutch held islands and major ports in the Indian subcontinent. The Portuguese left India in 1961. 2. Korea - Japan - Around 1910 to 1945. 3. Hong Kong - Britain - 1842 to 1997. Except for Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945. 4. Burma (Myanmar) - Britain - 1824 to 1948. Whole Asia - with couple of exception- was colonized. India ( no Pakistan at that time nor Bangla Desh), Ceylon, Malaya, Singapore, Maldives etc. Kuwait/ UAE etc were protectorates. Giant Indonesia was under Dutch, Philippines was under Spain/ USA/ Japan. Vietnam/ Laos/ Cambodia were under France. Middle-east Again, except three countries (Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey), they were all colonized by European: Iran. The country was invaded by Britain and the soviet during WWII. The Shah was neutral but pro-axis. The problem is that with Barbarossa, the trans-Iranian railways was vital to send resources to the soviets (for the lend-lease) . Therefore, Britain and the Soviet Union invaded Iran in 1941, put a new pro-ally Shah and kept control of the country until 1946. However, the country was just occupied and not a colony per se. Saudi Arabia. Nobody even bothered to colonize these deserts. And when the petrol was found in 1938, colonization was not trendy anymore 1. Egypt - Britain - 1882 to 1914. 2. Algeria - France - 1830 to 1962 3. Palestine - UK - 1920 to 1948 Now mostly Israel, Palestine was more of a British occupation than a colony. Europe Here, it’s sometimes a bit tricky, e.g. if you go back in time the south of Italy was a Greek colony, so Italy should be a colonized country … However, at these time the concept of country was really different, so I will only take into account modern history, when the state-nation appeared, i.e. when the concept of nation that we use appeared, so after the French revolution. I also consider a country as a colony if there is a will to “replace” the population. E.g. Lithuania was a Russian colony as Russia wanted to implant lot of Russian there. On the other hand, Belgium was not a Dutch colony, as the Dutch only wanted to annex the country. Then almost all the countries of western Europe were not colony (but most of them where conquered at some point), except Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland and Finland: Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The three Baltic states were Russian colony, with a forced implantation of Russian people. Finland is a more dubious case. It was also a Russian colony, although they were relatively free, so they could be considered more as a protectorate. Poland, it was split between Russia, Austria and Germany and all of them wanted to implant people there. However, some other countries could be considered as colony of other. I personally don’t as in these cases, there was no will to replace the population and harvest all the resources. It was more a “usual occupation”, were one country annex the other. A good example is Belgium that was occupied by the Spanish, Austrian, French and Dutch over times but they were each time considered as part of the country and not a colony. There was no will to replace the Belgian by Spanish people or to send back all the resources to Austria. There was also a will to invest there. However, other people may disagree with me. Amongst these countries, we have: Ukraine. Again, it was conquered by Russian but I don’t know if we can consider it as a colony. The Russian only wanted to annex the “white Russian” Balkan states + Greek, it’s a total mess between the Austria and Ottoman occupation and the war between the Balkan countries. However, I don’t think that they fall under the colony status. The former states of the Austrian empire. Again, was the Czech Republic an Austrian colony. I don’t think so, but other may have another point of view Greenland, Faeroe Island, and all the island under the control of Denmark, Norway, … Again are they protectorate or colony, is mater at discussion. South Pacific: 1. Australia - Britain, Dutch - 18th century to 1901. 2. New Zealand - Britain - 1847 to self-governing (1853) or dominion (1907). Australia/ NZ/ Fiji were under UK ( even now). Pacific islands were under England/ France/ USA ( even now Samoa is under USA). - Alaska, Angola, Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Congo, Ghana, Greenland, Guinea-Bissau, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Liberia, South Africa, Macau, Malta, Mozambique, Philippines, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, United States of America. Which countries/regions are colonized even today Instead of ‘colonies’, these are more like autonomous territories without sovereignty Under Denmark: Faroe Islands, Greenland Under Finland: Aland Islands Under France: Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Clipperton Island, French Southern and Antarctic Lands (consists: Reunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Mayotte) Under Netherlands: Aruba, Curacao, Sint Maarten Under Norway: Svalbard, Jan Mayen. There are some under USA and UK as well, but I can’t seem to find a proper list of them, so I’ll update the answer with them later. Palestine deserves a special mention for being colonised and under occupation by the British from 1920, and 1948 to present by Jewish settlers. While other nations allow the colonized population equal/voting rights to vote, Israel doesn’t have the population to support such an approach and, therefore, prolongs the occupation/apartheid indefinitely to ensure Jewish majority in government in apartheid democracy.

Thing is, we do learn about it in school. It's not glossed over. We don't learn all the details, but my history teacher made sure to tell us how much of a piece of **** our second king was.

When will the Armenian genocide be covered? Belgium, Spain and France don't deny their genocide but turkey does

Good information 👍

Great video!

Please share this as much as you can. Poor african people 🥺🥺

Guys get ready for the double standard algorithm of youtube XD! KZfaq is too ashamed to admit it! Make your comment smarter 😃

Very good summary Need to spread it across Africa etc t

Masha Allah TRT keep up with work u guys are doing may Allah help u guys

All your videos are excellent

Secularism is never killed anyone-macaroni

UNBELIEVABLE

It shows that modern civilization and advanced quality education can make you really powerful.

Thanks for background information. No body has talk about this before. So crual people. 😟

These are the mindsets of european people. And they are calling us muslims terrorists...

We love our Turkish brothers and sister's from Pakistan

You can understand that in the western world the soil is very poor them need Africa resources to feed their poor nations

Bless you for such a good informative video. 8 mins of learning of history which these European countries are hiding their heinous past.

Jazah Allah Khair

share this people.

WOW! Thank you

good discussion

That's embarrassing

Turkish Media. We know the objectivity of these media. Talking about the genoside with regard to Leopold II is like talking about the genoside of the Kurds and Armenians by the Turks. You must first look at your plate before looking at the other's.

So sad story

😢

you should do a show on Armenian Genocide also

Smart work. Ma sha Allah. Facts upon facts 💯 👌

The first photo used at 3:25 isn't of congo natives but of the Herero people who were killed by the German colonial government in what is known as the Nama/Herero Genocide of 1904/1905

I cried when I first learned this story

I never did have much respect for Europe because my country was colonized too but it keeps dropping further after seeing stuff like this. Man , they truly were heartless. ( I mean in old times , I don't care much about the present either ways)

Weird how this video didnt show up on my newsfeed

You know I'm a African Christian but i struggle trying to understand Christian or i struggle to understand when someone says God is perfect but stuff like this happened in Africa and it's still happening today just not as bad...

Never read this in history books in school.

The problem is not Europe or Western Nations the problem is the rest of the world who was colonized hardly never commemorate their falling people. It's almost it never happened to them.

1:46 Spain didn't colonize Mauritania. This map is not correct. What Spain colonized is the north of Morocco (Rif) and the Western Sahara, a country that now hasn't a complete recognition because two thirds of its territory are occupied by Morocco. The city of Tanger only was spanish for 4 years, the rest of the time of the colonitzation of Africa, Tanger had an international status. Ecuatorian Guinea was spanish since the San Ildefonso treaty (1777), not the Berlin Conference (1884).

Teşekkürler

This is outrageous...

Human rights champion

Very nice. Now let's see TRT documentary about 1915 genocide of Armenians by ottoman empire.

Veru good video.. This really open our eyes.. How cruel a wicked guys as a king of Belgium.. Very shamefull.. 10 million...😱😱😱

1:44 the map is super wrong djibouti was french, mixed up mauritania and western sahara and much more

I'm interesting to see the one for the Armenian genocide could you forward the link please ?

When erupe teaches us humanity

Thanks

What a coincidence, we were just talking about this in school in geography/history lol

TRT make a video of the Armenian Genocide made by the Ottoman Empire.

It's good to know history but honestly people in this era asking for money 150+ years ago is as dumb as it can get. Not to mention people in Africa at that time were literally primal. Colonialism made them almost modern countries.

Crazy

This is european values, european way of life, till to now, their thinking did not changed much!!!

You did show the wrong Albert at min 7. Thats Albert of the british royal family not king Albert 1 of the belgians.

The sad reality that is still going on in the continent and must of our ppl are still sleep walking 🥺🥺

Congo still suffering because it seat on resources the world needs.

watching such videos make me cry how can a human hate eachother on the base of color how could ppl be so cruel why hearts has become stone which dont feel anything no emotion no mercy nothing how we will face our creator

This send some shiver down the spine, Lumumba suffered the same fate even after fighting for freedom for DRC, he was excuted by pro west Mabutu, and the dictator with full support from West continued with massive looting and oppression , Congo the richest blessed mineral country in the planet that never was.

We still face hardship in Europe

Most of the atrocities committed by the colonials are written by the Europeans themselves. Why are the Arabs against Turkey, well for no reason apparently. What happened in Persia, the Balkans, Hungry, to the Greeks and Armenia its is their fault if they don't want to be conquered. The same excuse the colonials use. If you don't write about the Ottoman atrocities then none were committed. Yes Leopold was a Catholic. Atleast some of them have even admitted to it. But obviously there was no evil in the Ottomans.

The Belgium government should repent for the atrocities and provide citizenship in Belgium. Prats.

Ah the glorious western civilization and its blessings...again.
